Doll #2 is finished!
She went to her new home on Thanksgiving (she was a birthday gift for a little girl who turned one in August…oops).
I used the Wee Wonderfuls Kit, Chloe and Louise Pattern and I am making three dolls (I have one left to make for my daughter).
I used a thicker wool yarn for the hair this time and I used the pattern for Chloe’s dress. I love the little pintucks in the front. I made two dresses and sewed them together to make it reversible. I find it easier and neater looking than trying to sew teeny tiny hems.
I used plastic/resin snaps for the closures in the back. They are attached with a snap press and won’t fall off and be swallowed like a button or sew-on snap.
I made the reverse dress as close as I could get Tiffany Blue, because my friend, Wendy, is obsessed with that color. The doll is for her daughter, but she’s only one year-old, so she can’t tell me what she likes, yet!
LOVE her!!!! <3 her!!! 🙂 Especially the brown wool hair. 🙂
She looks so cute. I really love the thick yarn hair. Is it an easy pattern to make?
So darling! I actually went and bought this pattern because of your last post! So excited to make one too 🙂 How long do they take you? Have a wonderful holiday season!
Okay, my resolve is wearing down and my Granddaughter is turning one soon too :o)
Love this little doll! How clever of you, to just make the dress reversible! I think my baby girl is going to get quite a few dollies for her 2nd birthday next year.
SO cute! Totally makes me wish I had a little girl around (mine is 20, somehow I don’t her playing with this…LOL)
